UK is getting more and more dangerous for black people as the days go by….
If you live in the UK and you can afford the high rent, please stay in areas like London as you are bound to have a sizeable proportion of your neighbors being black, mixed race or ethnic minority although na only God dey save person for this ultra dangerous times where racism, xenophobia etc seems to be on the rise.
I’m wondering how the racist UK Daily Mail newspaper will explain the below apparently racist murder of this African woman and her 2 young daughters by a white neighbor setting fire to their flat at night just because he is irritated by them putting bags of rubbish in a communal alleyway shared by all residents of the block of flats.

A man who killed his neighbour and her two daughters by setting their flat on fire has been found guilty of murder.
Fatoumatta Hydara, 28, died along with Fatimah and Naeemah Drammeh, aged three and one, after their home in Clifton, Nottingham , was set alight in November.
Jamie Barrow, 31, had admitted their manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court but denied three counts of murder.
On Tuesday a jury found him guilty of the more serious charges.
The trial heard Barrow had poured petrol through the letterbox of the family’s Fairisle Close flat in the early hours of 20 November and set it alight.
Jurors were told he was unhappy about bags of rubbish being left in an alleyway behind where he and the victims lived but police said no clear motive had been established.
Prosecutors said Barrow knew the flat’s front door was the only way in and out when he set the fire.
He had claimed he thought the property was empty but the court was told he did nothing when he heard screams.
Ms Hydara and her daughters died from smoke inhalation.

A man who killed a mother and two children by setting their flat on fire has been found guilty of their murders.
Jamie Barrow torched the flat belonging to Fatoumatta Hydara, and daughters Fatimah Drammeh and Naeemah Drammeh in Clifton, Nottingham, last November by pouring petrol through their letterbox.
Prosecutors told a trial at Nottingham Crown Court that Barrow, who lived in the neighbouring flat in Fairisle Close, had a “grievance” over rubbish being left in an alleyway and watched the fire take hold while ignoring screams coming from inside.
Fatimah, three, and Naeemah, one, both died in the blaze on November 20 last year and Mrs Hydara, 28, died two days later, with all three succumbing to smoke inhalation.
Barrow, 31, had already admitted manslaughter but a jury of seven men and four women unanimously convicted him of murder on Tuesday after almost seven hours of deliberations.
He was also found guilty of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.

Some members of the victims’ family, to whom Barrow apologised while giving evidence and who have packed the public gallery throughout proceedings, wept after the verdicts were delivered. Barrow remained silent throughout.
In the trial, which started on June 12, prosecutor Simon Ash KC told jurors that Barrow had “walked casually away” from the fire after lighting petrol taken from his motorbike and set alight with tissue paper in the early hours of the morning.
The defendant, who admitted he had drank “seven or eight” cans of San Miguel lager before starting the fire, would have known that his victims were home due to a pram being left outside the door and a light coming from the hallway, Mr Ash said.
He added that after the fire took hold, Barrow “did nothing to help” those trapped inside the first-floor flat.
While giving his evidence, Barrow said he “can’t explain” why he chose to target the neighbouring flat but had formed the opinion that no one was inside as he had not seen or heard his neighbours in the days leading up to the fire.
He had been suffering from a “very, very low mood” and was “wallowing in self-pity” in the days and hours before his actions, caused partially by his emotionally unstable personality disorder.
He told the court he did not expect the fire to take hold as rapidly as it did and said he was driven to admit what he had done to police officers due to “an immense amount of guilt”, telling police: “I need to tell you something about the fire next door.”
The jury heard that Barrow found starting fires “cathartic” and gave “zero” consideration to the consequences of his actions, rejecting his assertion that he had not intended to harm anyone when starting the fatal blaze.
Thanking the jury for their service, Mrs Justice Tipples said: “This has been a particularly distressing case in which three people died and in those circumstances I am going to discharge you from jury service for life.”
Barrow will be sentenced on Friday at the same court.
